VB15010 for advanced solid tumors with HRR gene mutation
This trial tests an oral medication (VB15010) in people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific DNA repair gene mutation (called HRR mutation). The goal is to see if the drug can stop or slow down cancer growth.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06819566RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus
This study tests whether tying off high-risk veins in the esophagus before starting a common liver cancer treatment can prevent bleeding. It is for people with liver cancer that has spread but who have never had cancer treatment before.
Seoul, Song-paAges 19–80 - NCT06820255RecruitingPhase 4
DNA repair and platinum chemo for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests how well platinum-based chemotherapy works in people with advanced bladder cancer that has certain DNA repair gene changes. It aims to see if these genetic markers can predict who benefits most from treatment.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06820164RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Salt-water shots for lipomas under the skin
This study tests injecting cooled or warmed salt water (saline) into lipomas—harmless fatty lumps under the skin—to see if it can shrink or remove them without surgery. It's for people with a single lipoma or many, as long as they're not on the face, too big, or growing fast.
Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06820333Recruiting
PSMA PET scan for newly diagnosed prostate cancer
This trial looks at how well a special scan called PSMA PET/CT can help find the spread of prostate cancer when it is first diagnosed. You may be able to join if your doctor has already recommended this scan for you.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06820606Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for enlarged prostate
This trial compares Rezum and Urolift, two minimally invasive procedures that treat an enlarged prostate (BPH). It aims to see which one works better for men who have moderate to severe urinary symptoms.
Hong KongAges 50 years+ - NCT06821048RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cells targeting CEA for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called CAR-T cells that are designed to attack cancer cells positive for CEA protein. It's for people with advanced solid tumors like colorectal or lung cancer who have run out of standard options.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06821243Recruiting
Finding markers in HPV-related throat cancer to guide treatment
This study looks for certain markers in people with HPV-related throat cancer that could help doctors choose the best treatment. If you are planning to have surgery for your throat cancer, you may be able to join.
Rome, RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06821880Recruiting
Tracking infections and quality of life in blood cancer patients
This study uses a smartphone or web app to track infections and quality of life in people with multiple myeloma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia who have a weakened immune system. The goal is to create a better screening tool for infections and understand how the disease and treatment affect daily life.
Innsbruck, TyroliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06821958Recruiting
Radio wave treatment for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new type of treatment using low-energy radio waves (called electromagnetic fields) for people with advanced liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if adding this therapy can help your immune system fight the cancer better.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06822010RecruitingPhase 2
Gemcitabine and Mitomycin for High-Risk Upper Tract Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs, gemcitabine and mitomycin, given directly into the kidney or ureter through a thin tube. It is for people with a high-risk but non-invasive form of upper urinary tract cancer that has not spread into deeper tissues.
